What is CVE-2025-13355?

The URL Shortify plugin for WordPress, prior to version 1.11.4, contains a vulnerability that fails to properly sanitize and escape a specific parameter before rendering it on the web page.

Proper validation and sanitization mechanisms are crucial to mitigate this issue and protect user data.
